Stop hunting through PDF cheat sheets. KeyMap puts every keyboard shortcut for six major DAWs in one fast, searchable place — Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Ableton Live, FL Studio, Studio One, and Cubase. SEARCH • Thousands of shortcuts, indexed by name, action, and key. Type "split", "bounce", or a term in your own language and get the answer instantly — search works in English, Korean, Japanese, German, Portuguese, Spanish, French, and Chinese. • Every keystroke bound to a command, not just the main one. Record in Pro Tools shows ⌘Space, F12, and numpad 3. • Browse by category, or by DAW. TRANSLATE ACROSS DAWS • Know a shortcut in one DAW and need it in another? KeyMap maps the same action across all six. Moving from Logic to Pro Tools, or just curious how Ableton does it — the equivalent is one tap away. TRAIN YOUR MUSCLE MEMORY • Spaced-repetition drills built for shortcuts. Flashcard mode asks you to recall first, then self-check; multiple-choice mode tests you against real, plausible wrong keys. • Practice sets by category, a daily streak, and a scheduler that brings back what you keep missing. FIND BY KEY • Press a key combination — or tap the on-screen keypad — and see every shortcut in your DAW that uses it. • On Mac, a small window sits beside your DAW and opens with a global hotkey (default ⌃⌥Space). Works with any input language. FREE & PRO • Free: full access to one DAW of your choice, plus daily training. • Pro: all six DAWs, cross-DAW translation, and unlimited training — one purchase, yours forever. No subscription. Works fully offline. No account required.
